Quaglin of New Jersey has been held without bail since his arrest in April 2021 while he awaits trial on charges related to the protests and rioting at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

In early March, Quaglin was beaten by an inmate at the Northern Neck Regional Jail in Warsaw, Virginia, according to his attorney, Joseph D. McBride. When he learned about the incident, McBride demanded an emergency video meeting with Quaglin, but that was denied, he said.
